Good
We need all the help we can get to fight this Covid.

Good, hope they can give ppl some form of online accreditation or SMS because there is lockdown and security agents may arrest those who will attempt to go out without authorization.

They are more US citizens in Abuja.
They are evacuating their citizens cos they know we can’t handle the numbers they are currently counting, they know all our politicans that run to them for solace. So which smart thinking country won’t save its citizens
What I’m thinking about is how Lagosians want to go for testing under lockdown??

It's really a welcome development,, I hope the equipments are up to standard ,, with this we can really know the actual number of victims we have in the country... ��

Good development

Sweet.

Good news.

We need more testing centres.

Good one

Great development

Publicity stunt. So without appointment you won't be tested. Imagine the long que at yaba infectious disease centre yet they keep turning people away because they don't have travel history. I hope they won't do the same here

It's well

YOY MUST BE A SADIST!
NOTHING GOOD MAKES YOU HAPPY

Who get time to book appointment online. Wetin concern crawfish seller and that one

It’s confirmed the Akure explosion this early morning was a bomb.
A truck was said to be conveying the explosives � materials was flagged down by policemen, then they noticed sparks or fire underneath the truck, well the realst is history as they say!
The identities of the “so called men could bot be verified”

Many more testing centres needed!
At the moment, we have no idea how far the virus has spread in Nigeria bc there's no way to know if anyone has got it except through test, and the test centres are grossly insufficient at the moment!

Only few people will get tested.

The fear of having it is more than death.

Where people supposed to pay to get tested b4

Good initiative anyways.

Is their machine up to standard, they should carry out audio fake test

Seems to me as an avenue to further spread the virus.

Don't go if you don't have the symptoms,
They can infect you with their carelessness.


Just be taking food that can increase your immune system
